ALL-STEEL SLEEPING CARS.
There are seventy-five all-steel, electric-liglited Pullman
sleeping cars in active service on the Pennsyl
vania Railroad System.
These "Dreadnaught" cars—fire-proof and break-proof
—are running 011 the through trains"bet\veen New \ork,
Philadelphia, and Chicago, St. Louis, Nashville, Indian
apolis, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Wheeling, Pittsburgh, ISalti
more and Washington.
Six hundred all-steel Pullman cars have been ordered
by the Pennsylvania Railroad System, and they are being
delivered and placed in service at the rate of sixty cars a
month.
"Dreadnaught" cars are fifty per cent, heavier and over
sixty per cent, more expensive than wooden cars, but the
Pennsylvania Railroad considers the increase in expense
fully justified by the increase in'the safety and comfort of
its passengers.
Including coaches, dining cars,[baggage and postal cars,
there are 701 steel cars in service at present, and this
number will be increased to some 2000 in'all as fast as the
shops can turn them out.
BENTON ALMOST
WIPED OUT
A lire which did damage amounting
to approximately $300,000, destroyed
sixty buildiugs and made thirty fami
lies homeless, wiped out the business
ami residential section of Benton,Col
umbia county, on the Fourth of July.
An exploding firecracker thrown
among the straw in the barn of George
Crossley was the cause of the fire.
The fire broke out about 3 o'clock in
the afternoon and it was not until late
at night, alter aid had been sent from
Bloomsburg, that the flames were un
der control.
Fanned by a high wind the flames
swept through a residential street and
soon readied the business section of
the town. I
Destroyed the Col
umbia County National Bank build
ing, the People's Department Store,
the postoffice building, the.Exchange
hotel and barn, the Rinker Crystal
Palace, the furniture store'of A. T.

Chapin, the meat market of Charles
Hess, the Benton Argus building, the
barber shop of Glen Tubbs.the variety
store of Fred Hagenbuch, the jewelry
store of R. E. Keeler, the piano store
of Arthur Harrison, theJKemp studio
for the second time since lie'lias been

Telephone Company, H. J. Sheldon's
confectionery store,JJthe poolfroom of
Orvie Long.

In the Columbia County National
bank were deposits of over #200,000
which are believed to be safe in the
vault.
The burned area is about ten acres
in extent in the center of the town
and nothing is left here except smould
ering piles of rubbish. Of the ap
proximately $300,000 loss probably less
than one-half is insured. The rate of
insurance of $27.50 per thousand was
due to the prevalence of wood in con
struction and the lack of water sap
ply.
Crazed by the fire Mrs. Rosa Hess,
an aged resident of the town, Rushed
back into her burning home after
neighbors had succeeded once in get
ting her out. She was terribly burned ,
but will likely recover.
All of the homeless families were
cared for Monday night by neighbors.
Burgess Laubach has issued a call for
a public meeting tonight when plans
for the future will be discussed.
Chinese Originated Fireworks.
From an early period the Chinese J
were skillful in making and using lire- J
works, and with that people tbe idea
of amusing the public by pyrotechnic
displays undoubtedly originated. Un
til the Invention of gunpowder and be
fore the properties of saltpeter were
understood fireworks may be said to
have been unknown In Europe. The
first of the Europeans to cultivate the
art were the Italians In 1510 Ulrin
guccl Vnuuccio described fireworks in
a book entitled "De la Pyrotechula."
Iu France in 1">0S there appeared a
work called "Traites Militaires," by J.
Hauzelet. which recommended the use
of the rocket in war. But the Chinese
had long before that employed the
rocket as nn offensive weapon, affixing
to it a pointed barb like that of an ar
row.

READ HIS FACE.
The Youthful Amateurs Were Sure He
Was a Philanthropist.
They were youthful enthusiasts in
physiognomy. On the seat opposite in
the train was a man of commanding
figure, massive brow and serious ex
pression. "Splendid face!" one of then)
explained. "What do you suppose his
life work has been?"
"A lawyer?" suggested the other
"Xo-o; there's too much benevolence
In that face for a lawyer."
"Maybe u banker?"
"Oh. no'. A man with au expression
like that couldn't have spent his life in
merely turning over money."
"He might be an editor."
"An editor! Cutting and slashing his
enemies at every turn and even his
friends occasionally for the sake of a
smart paragraph? You can't read
faces. That man's a philanthropist or
; engaged in some sort of public spirit
ed work. Why, there isn't a line that
doesn't indicate streugth of purpose
and nobility! I.ook at that curve there
on the left!"
At the next station nn old country
man took his seat beside the man with
massive btow and soon entered luto a
conversation with him, in the course of
which he asked the latter "what was
his line."
The two opposite held their breath
in the intensity of their interest.
"Oh, I've got a little tavern and
butcher shop back in the country a
bit!" was the proud reply. "My wife
tends to the meals and I do my own
killing."—Youth's Companion.

The Mountains Bother Them.
The British have had heaps of trou
ble in Siam to make the natives under
stand that the world is round instead
of flat. Indeed, the native teachers
keep on teaching the children that it
is fiat, and when argued with they re
ply, "If it Isn't fiat why do the moun
tains stand up as they do instead of
rolling downhill?"
Making a Lawn.
On his English tour an American
was admiring the velvety smoothness
of a certain sward, and, being pos
sessed of land and an overpowering
confidence that with money all things
aro possible, he asked the head gar
dener how to produce such a lawn.
And the gardener said: "It's easy
enough, sir. All you need do is to
remove all the stones, plow up the
ground, plant It with grass seed »nd
roll It for 300 years."
When Dreams Came True.
An English magazine records two
dream stories. In one a !.".<!>. having
lost au Important key while walking
in a wood near her house in Ireland,
dreamed that she saw It lying at the
root of a certain tree. Next day she
l'ound it there. She supposed her eye
must have seen it after it dropped,
though her conscious mind had not in
stantly noted It.

as he had dreamed. The mind regis

Something Wrong.
An Australian auctioneer who was
reputed to have more education than
professional ability was endeavoring to
sell sotne cattle to an audience of farm
hands. "Gentlemen." he began, "1
have a particularly nice lot of heifers
and bullocks, and 1 may say that the
heifers predominate."
lie was interrupted by a very agri
cultural voice from the crowd. "I
thort there was something wrong with
'em." it said, "or you wouldn't have to

How Pausanius Died.
I'ausanlus, the Greek general, died
by self administered poison. When
hotly pursued by those sent to appre
hend him on a charge of treason and
sacrilege he took refuge in the sanc
tuary of a temple. Unable to remove
him by force and also unwilling to
violate the sauctuary, the officers wall
ed up the entrance and began to un
roof the building. When he could be
seen they noticed that he was chewing
something which proved to be a quill
filled with poison. By the time the
work had sufficiently advanced to ad
mit of their entrance he was in a dy
ing condition.

METEORIC DUST.
Bombards the Er.rth In an Invisible,
Never Ending Shower.
Meteoric dust particles are Infinitely
finer than grains of sand. They have
an interesting origin. Meteors or shoot
ing stars have been bombarding the
world from the beginning at a rate es
timated at many thousands an hour,
of which, however, an average of only
five or six are visible to the uaked eye
in that time.
Owing to our protecting euvelope of
ulr few of these missiles reach us. In
weight meteors vary from a few
ounces to many pounds. Occasionally
one is of sufficient dimensions to sur
vive the passage of eighty to a hun
dred miles through an atmosphere in
creasing in density as the earth is ap
proached.
The speed at which they enter the
atmosphere, calculated at not less than
thirty-five miles a second, generates
such intense heat by friction that the
iron, of which the meteor principally
consists, is immediately reduced to an
incandescent vapor, which is the lumi
nous train so frequently seen in the
heavens on a clear night. The vapor
rapidly cools and condenses in the
torin of these minute particles, which
assume the spherical form, as does
shot during its fall from the top of the
tower.
Finally the little spheres are scatter
ed by the winds and currents in the
upper air and gradually descend in
their millions as an invisible, never
ending shower. The perfect condition
in which these meteors are found is
due to the presence of certain non
corrosive elements found by analysis
to be present in the metal of meteors
which have come to earth.—Chicago
Tribune.
He Hides His Feelings.
"This popular fiction is all rot. In
real life the girl's father seldom ob
jects to the man of her choice."
"You're wrong there. He often ob
jects, but he's usually too wise to say
inything."—Kansas City Journal.
2 TEAMS ADMITTED
TO THE LEAGUE
The managers of the Susqnehaiui
league met yesterday afternoou al th
Hotel Morton at Berwick and acte
upon matters that resulted from th
decision of Allien and Benton to dro
from the circuit.
Manager Kulp, of the Edgewoo
Park team of Shamokin and Manage
Stahl, of Sunbury, were at the meet
ing and asked that franchises be giant
ed to their towns. Their requests wer
granted by the board.
It was decided by the managers t
enter upon a four game a week sched
ule next week, and the schedule fo
the remainder of the season to be ad
opted at a meeting to be held uex
Sunday at Danville.
The schedule committee was ohosei
as follows: President McOollua
Simon K. Hoffman and Gilbert Kulj
DANVILLE DECLARED WINNER.
When the new schedule is put int
effect next week all the teams in th
league will again start even and Dan
ville will be declared the winner c
the first part of the season. Should at.
other team win the second part of th
season that team and Danville wi.
play a series of games after the regula
season for the championship of th
league.
An unpleasant episode occurred a
the meeting when Manager Colley o
Shickshinny threatened to invoke th
law if the Shicbshinny team is force
out of the league by the adoption o
the four games a week schedule. Co!
ley claims his team can not play fou
games a week on account of the mil
ers not being able to attend.
The report which was circulate
yesterday to the effect that Nescopec
has dropped out of the league is un
founded.
BENEFIT GAME FOR BENTON.
A tine sentiment was contained i

| Renton fire sufferers. The game wi
Ibe played between Danville and
